Still at 148. No loss from Monday. I know I’ll probably be stalled for a few days due to the alcohol but I’m not giving up. I still had a 4lb loss in 1 week. Even if that continues I’ll be at my goal in 5 weeks.

I have found it easier to pretty much stick with two bars a day. I know at some point, I will need to do regular food. I just want to get there! So great to see that you have done this and maintained for so long, Gives us all hope…..

Hi K-

So great having you on that call! It is a trip of a lifetime bcs of what it symbolizes and I plan on setting my head and body up to seek optimal enjoyment.

Thanks for the kind words.

BTW…what is your eating plan?

10 Days to COSTA RICA!

Wt: 118.4

So thrilled for the WHOOSH!! I’ve been FOCUSED!! Love this feeling. I wish I could bottle it and give it to everyone. There is no feeling like being in control AND feeling light and lean in your body.

Spoke to Dr. Lewis on the chat and he wants me to get to 115 BEFORE my trip. I feel like 3.4 pounds is…[Read more]

I could not have said it better than Alison and Dr. Lewis. You have come to far! We all have slips but each time, we learn from them. Also, we get up faster.

You still probably ate way less than if you were NOT in a 5B mentality.

Keep going Smaro. You will get used to eating less. Perhaps you can PM Dr. Lewis about eating a bit more and weaning…[Read more]

Thank you for your kind words! All of this support means so much to me. I won’t quit.

Again, you are still in the learning phase. With time you will figure all of this out, but you need your slip-ups to learn and grow. Ah, but every time you go back to an exact 5 bites it feels SO GOOD! It’s that amazing feeling of control and empowerment that keeps you coming back for more. And eventually you will end up skinny. Just keep…[Read more]

Just keep the memories of this wonderful weekend! All it matters is that you are back on track.

It’s been 3 days since I last posted. Things are not going well with the bar challenge. It is too little food for me and too restrictive regarding flavor.
Day 1: 3 bars (I ate another bar after posting because I was too hungry)
Day 2: 1 bar for breakfast, tried to do 5 bites of food for lunch but ended up eating more
Day3: 3 bars (too hungry)
Day…[Read more]

Hi Guys!

Update on my bar challenge. The weekend was a PERFECT 5Bite Bar Challenge. I ate between 1-2 bars a day. I also worked out because I love to. Treadmill and stationary bike (not intense).

Wt. 120.6

I decided to extend my bar challenge to Saturday morning. I want to see the low end of maintenance. I feel best under 120.

I have Costa…[Read more]

Hi Kathy-

Life is filled with unexpected surprises. How fantastic that your fiance surprised you!! I think that water weight gain will be gone in a day or two. You were still mindful of your eating. It’s great that you are getting right back to resetting so you can finish the rest of your journey to 128.

Gayle

Good for you Alison! You didn’t let the stress and overwhelm resort to overeating. Bet you’re glad you didn’t. Love following your journey and I’m cheering you on all the way!!

My fiance surprised me with a weekend trip to Santa Barbara. The good…I had a great time seeing the sites and just relaxing together….the bad…I had 2 margaritas o Friday night 1 margarita on Saturday night and 2 glasses of wine on Sunday night. I worked out with my trainer on Friday so had to eat some oatmeal before the workout to have the…[Read more]

11 days till Costa Rica!

Wt: 120.6

Getting closer to lower end of goal range. Made it through the weekend with perfect 5 B eating. Now I can really chip away at these last few pounds. Plan is to continue with bars (1-3) quest until Saturday and then reassess. When I reflect on bypassing temptation, I’m always glad I didn’t give into the food.…[Read more]

This is wonderful to hear, Alison! I’m really excited for you and your husband. And it keeps getting better and better. :laugh:

Update on my Bar Challenge!

It’s Sunday at 10:30am. Love to awaken WITHOUT hunger.

I have been PERFECT on this Weekend Bar Challenge. I forget what laser sharp focus and reset that Bars give me. Last night was definitely a taste in resisting temptation. I knew I wouldn’t give in NO MATTER WHAT. I was faced with every type of food I love. I…[Read more]
